        Principles, theory and practice

        by Dr. Philipp Kircher, Elisabeth Remplik and Dr. Peter Killian

        Midwives use drugs on their own authority, or guide and support pregnant and breastfeeding women in their therapy.

This new reference book provides ideal preparation and imparts the necessary information: - General advice on the handling of drugs and the principles of pharmacology - Description of common drug substances and particular aspects of their use in pregnancy, childbirth and lactation - Treatment options from complementary medicine and phytotherapy - Advice about correct diet The clear and concise presentation of facts as well as numerous illustrations make it easier to understand and grasp the content. Text boxes highlight important elements or refer the reader to interesting additional information: The textbook and reference work for students, practical training and everyday work!

        Plants that Hyperaccumulate Heavy Metals

        by Edited by Robert R Brooks

        Plant species which can accumulate high concentrations of heavy metals have been known for over one hundred years. However, until the last twenty years their potential went largely unnoticed by scientists. The term hyperaccumulation was first introduced by the author (and colleagues) in 1977. This renewed interest, together with heightened environmental awareness and the discovery of the phenomenon in many more species has since stimulated research into a number of novel scientific and commercial uses. This book brings together for the first time in one volume all the relevant ecological information on hyperaccumulators and describes the new disciplines, methods and uses for them which continue to be explored. These include the removal of heavy metal pollutants from soils and waters (phytoremediation), the identification of ancient human settlements (phytoarchaeology), mineral exploration, the revegetation of degraded land and the exciting possibility of the commercial extraction of heavy metals from crop plants (phytomining). This book is essential reading for plant ecologists and physiologists who have an interest in hyperaccumulators, environmental consultants specialising in land restoration, and exploration geochemists. It will also be of great interest to professionals, lecturers and advanced students in environmental science, geology and soil science.

        Public information films

        British government film units, 1928–52

        by Alan Harding

        In the years after the First World War the British government had to adapt its communication policy to connect with the new mass electorate. This book examines the government's own Film Units and their slow development of the Public Information Film. By reviewing the entire film catalogue produced by the Empire Marketing Board, the General Post Office and Crown Film Units, particular themes are identified which not only reflect the demands of the Units' sponsors but also the anxieties and concerns of the 1930s and 1940s. The impact of the films is explored through the contemporary reaction of the audiences to them. By the time the Crown Film Unit was closed in 1952 a style of Public Information Film had been developed and continued into the 1970s.
